L’Être subconscient: Essai de synthèse explicative des phénomènes obscurs de psychologie normale et anormale

by Gustave Geley

About this book

Gustave Geley proposes a unifying explanation for mental phenomena that he regards as lying beyond ordinary conscious awareness. His French-language study connects accounts of normal and unusual psychological activity with a theory of the subconscious self.

The discussion considers the relationship between mind and body, the interpretation of psychic phenomena and the limits of explanations based solely on conscious mental processes. Geley develops his argument as a synthesis of observations and philosophical reasoning. This complete historical fourth edition retains its original printed pages and concluding material.
